Twenty (TWENTY!) years ago last week, David Beckham scored his famous halfway line goal against Wimbledon - and with it, marked his arrival on English football's biggest stage.

Since then, we've seen a fair amount of similar length goals from the likes of Wayne Rooney , Xabi Alonso and Charlie Adam - but none have quite delivered the same aesthetically pleasing impact.

However, as seen in the video above, Chester FC midfielder Elliott Durrell produces what can only be described as a carbon copy of Beckham's famous beauty, reports The Chester Chronicle .

Fast forward two decades and Durrell finds himself in a similar position, spotting Boreham Wood goalkeeper Grant Smith well off his line and, with Chester trailing 1-0 at the time, there was only one thing in his mind.

"I saw him off his line a phase of play before that and I wasn't in a position to let loose but I've challenged their full back as the ball has come out and I knew he was too far off his line to make it back if I got it right and it was one of those that you take all day long," said Durrell, who emerged from the bench to snatch a point for the Blues in a 1-1 draw at Meadow Park.

"Growing up my idol was David Beckham and it has been in the press this week that he burst onto the scene with a goal like that and the amount of times I have watched him do that against Wimbledon, as soon as I got the ball at my feet and saw where the keeper was I knew that there was only one thing that I was doing."

The goal ended a two-match losing streak for Chester and provided a welcome platform on which to build ahead of two games in three days, starting with a home clash against Sutton United on Saturday.

And Durrell says that the result can be a panacea to Chester's tough start and insists that both he and the rest of the squad still have lofty ambitions this season.

He said: "It is just about stopping the rot and it is a massive point to come to Boreham Wood and grind out a draw.

"It was great to get on the scoresheet but the most important thing is the result.

"I'd wouldn't have come here if I thought that we were going to settle for lower bottom half or mid table. Fortunately I've always been in a team where I have been challenging for the play-offs or a title. I've come here with the same hopes. I've not come here to make up the numbers in this league. I've come here to put a marker down the same as the rest of the lads and we want to do something in this league."
